Chapter 164: The thorn in the language is what the heart thinks

The guard surnamed Xu's heart beat a little fast, and he had only been the guard of the palace for two days, and he had never had the opportunity to meet the supreme king of Bazhou.

Originally, I thought that I was just taking this opportunity to show my face in front of General Ning, but who expected that General Ning was discussing matters at the palace side, and he couldn't put down the old man on his back and let the two of them find it by themselves.

In fact, this is because he doesn't understand the rules.

According to the rules of the palace, the eunuchs in the palace must guide the way.

The reason why he dared to bring someone in to find Ning Kai without authorization was mainly because Ning Kai had explained before.

Of course, Ning Kai's explanation like this is another kind of ignorance of the rules.

It's just that the current palace, Ning Kai's words, are the rules, and no one dares to find fault with this celebrity in front of the king when he is full.

Hou Mink Temple didn't dare either.

asked for directions, and in the end, it was Jia Nanfeng who gave one or two pointers, and then took the two of them to the front of the hall, and the guard surnamed Xu was about to kneel down as soon as his legs were weak, but he forgot that he was still carrying an old man with gray hair on his back.

Zhen Beiyu slapped the back of his head and scolded: "Kneel and wait for a while, put the old man down first!"

Fan Jiangong had already stood up, turned his head and smiled at Ning Kai: "Say the prime minister, the prime minister will arrive, I didn't expect Mr. Jia to come back so soon." ”

After speaking, he looked at Zhen Beiyu who had just come off the back of the guard surnamed Xu from a distance, and asked Ning Kai, "Ning Kai, who is this person?"

Ning Kai bowed slightly and said, "Your Majesty, this person is the head of my Qingyun Sect, the head of Zhen Beiyu Zhen. ”

Fan Jiangong bowed slightly, and walked towards His Highness.

Ning Kai followed.

Fan Jiangong looked at Zhen Beiyu's old appearance and pale face, and his heart was really good.

Jia Nanfeng saw Fan Jiangong coming down to the palace, and said to Zhen Beiyu in a low voice: "Senior brother, the king has come up to greet you." ”

Zhen Beiyu glanced at Jia Nanfeng, "I'm not blind yet." ”

After speaking, the guard Xu Xing, who was trembling with his legs, asked, "Boy, what is your name?"

The guard surnamed Xu saw Fan Jiangong walking down, he didn't dare to look up, and listened to Zhen Beiyu's question to him, he didn't want to answer, but then when he thought about his identity, he hesitated and whispered: "Back to the words of the old immortal, the little one's name is Xu Lai." ”

Zhen Beiyu stroked his beard and nodded: "The breeze is coming, the water is not rippling, Xu is coming, good name." ”

How did Xu Lai know that his name would be so exquisite, when he heard Zhen Beiyu say this, he smiled happily, forgetting that Fan Jiangong had approached, turned his head to look at Zhen Beiyu and said with a smile: "Old Immortal, is what you said true?

Zhen Beiyu put his hands on crutches, raised his head slightly, and said after a moment of silence: "You must not be in a hurry, Xu, slowly, Xu come, just take your time." It's good to take your time, young man, don't be impetuous, it's better to be steady, well, it's better to be steady. ”

Fan Jiangong had already stood still in front of several people.

Jia Nan saluted and said, "I've seen the king!"

Seeing that Xu Lai didn't react, Zhen Beiyu showed a displeased look on his face, turned his head to look at Fan Jiangong, nodded slightly, and said, "Good, good, good!"

After speaking, his hands loosened, his crutches fell to the ground, and he saluted and said, "Zhen Beiyu, the head of the old Qingyun Sect, has seen the king. ”

What Zhen Beiyu said, Xu Lai didn't hear it at all, after he asked Zhen Beiyu, as soon as he turned his head, he saw Fan Jiangong standing with a smile and Ning Kai with a majestic face.

Then he trembled and fell to his knees.

Zhen Beiyu's crutches hit him right on the head, and he didn't even dare to move.

Looking at Zhen Beiyu closer, it is far from the image of a faction in his heart, it is said that even if his skills are gone, this kind of bearing should always be there, but Zhen Beiyu's appearance is like the old man in the village, but the robes he wears are better.

Fan Jiangong smiled slightly: "Master Zhen has worked hard all the way!"

After speaking, he bowed down, picked up the crutches that fell under his feet, and handed it to Zhen Beiyu.

Zhen Beiyu took the crutches and grinned: "How dare you bother the king, but you are old." ”

After speaking, he straightened his back and turned his head to look at Ning Kai.

Seeing Zhen Beiyu looking at him, Ning Kai bowed and saluted: "Ning Kai has seen the master uncle!"

Zhen Beiyu nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay, good!"

Looking sideways at Jia Nanfeng, Zhen Beiyu said with a smile: "Senior brother, you have accepted a good disciple!"

Fan Jiangong turned his head and glanced at Ning Kai, and laughed: "Master Zhen is right, this king can get Ning Kai's help, it is really like a tiger with wings." ”

Ning Kai took half a step back, bowed and saluted: "It's the king who has raised Ning Kai!"

Fan Jiangong was not allowed to speak, Zhen Beiyu tapped his cane and said: "You kid, this is hypocrisy, as a disciple of my Qingyun Sect, you still have to have a little arrogance, and the king is interested in your ability, not your modesty." ”

After speaking, he looked at Fan Jiangong with a smile and asked, "Your Majesty, are you right when you say that you are old?"

Fan Jiangong nodded with a smile and said, "Master Zhen is reasonable. ”

Then he stretched out his arm and said, "Master Zhen, Mr. Jia, please come in quickly!"

Ning Kai took a step forward, grabbed Zhen Beiyu's arm, and said in a low voice: "Uncle Shi, I'll support you." ”

Zhen Beiyu said with a smile: "I heard that you were made a general by the king, how dare the old man work for the general." ”

Ning Kai glanced at Zhen Beiyu, who had already raised his arm slightly to him, snorted lightly in his heart, and said quietly: "Uncle Shi is joking with the disciple again, you are an elder, no matter what position the disciple holds, I am a disciple of the Qingyun Sect." ”

After saying that, he reached over.

After holding Zhen Beiyu's arm, Ning Kai's expression changed slightly.

Zhen Beiyu has stepped forward.

Several people entered the hall, but no one paid attention to Xu Lai, who was kneeling on the ground.

After walking a few steps, Zhen Beiyu looked back at Xu Lai and said to Ning Kai, "This person is your subordinate?"

Ning Kai nodded and said, "If you go back to the head of the family, this person has only come under my command, do you have any orders?"

Zhen Beiyu nodded and said: "Uncle Shi went down the mountain this time, but there is a lack of an errand runner around him, I see that he is very good, are you willing to let this person follow me for a while first?"

Ning Qi smiled and said, "Why not!"

After speaking, he turned his head to Xu and said, "Get up, did you hear what my uncle said?"

Xu Lai raised his head and whispered, "The villain heard it." ”

Ning Kai frowned, "Haven't you eaten enough?" Talking like a mosquito, girl!"

When Xu Lai heard this, his face turned red, and he said loudly: "My subordinates obey orders!"

Fan Jiangong, who had already walked a few feet away with Jia Nanfeng, turned his head and took a look.

Jia Nanfeng said with a smile: "The king is not strange, the senior brother is old, and there are disciples to take care of in the sect, and he and I did not bring the disciples here when I went down the mountain this time, so the senior brother made such a request." ”

Fan Jiangong smiled: "This is a trivial matter. ”

Then he wondered: "Mr. Jia, are you the only one who came down the mountain with Master Zhen this time?"

Jia Nanfeng heard the meaning of Fan Jiangong's words, shook his head and smiled: "The old man understands that there are still three descendants in my sect, all of whom have been ordered to come to Ziyang City, but their legs are not as fast as the carriage, according to their steps, they can arrive in Ziyang City in almost two days, you can rest assured." ”

Don't blame Fan Jiangong for asking, seeing that Jia Nanfeng returned to the sect and only brought a bad old man back, which made Fan Jiangong, who was thirsty for talent, inevitably a little disappointed in his heart.

Hearing Jia Nanfeng say this, Fan Jiangong said with joy on his face: "It's so good!"

At this time, Ning Kai and Zhen Beiyu had already walked over.

Xu Lai has been ordered to find his chief.

When he left, he felt that his life was very good.

Because Ning Kai promised that after his master Bo Zhen returned to the sect, he would be promoted to be the chief.

Ning Kai helped Zhen Beiyu to the first position of the guest seat, Jia Nanfeng stood in the second seat, and Ning Kai stood opposite Zhen Beiyu.

Jia Nanfeng glanced at Ning Kai.

Fan Jiangong walked up to the palace, stood still in front of the throne, pressed his hands and said, "Everyone, please take a seat!"

After speaking, he sat on the throne and ordered: "Come on, serve tea to the two immortal elders of the Qingyun Sect." ”

Then he looked at Zhen Beiyu and said with a smile: "This king didn't expect that the head of Zhen came down the mountain in person, and he never greeted him from afar. ”

Zhen Beiyu took the teacup from the maid's hand, took a sip, shook his head and sighed: "Living water and new tea, good, good, worthy of the palace." ”

Putting down the teacup, he turned his head to look at Fan Jiangong who was smiling, nodded and said: "The king doesn't need to be so polite, the old man is a grass people, why should the king treat it like this!"

Fan Jiangong waved his hand and said: "Eh, Master Zhen's words are bad, and he doesn't say anything else, just say that the right hand man of this king, General Ning and Feng Shuai, are both masters of Qingyun Sect, and you are worthy of such courtesy from this king." ”

Zhen Beiyu stroked his beard and said with a smile: "As soon as you enter the temple, there are no rivers and lakes, king, they were just from Qingyun Sect, and now they are all the ministers of our humerus in Bazhou, and the old man no longer dares to pretend to be the head of the house in front of them." ”

Ning Kai was just about to speak, but saw Jia Nanfeng on the opposite side shaking his head at him slightly.

Zhen Beiyu continued: "Besides, my Qingyun Sect also has a black sheep like Lu Yiping, which really makes the old man ashamed of the king and the previous king. ”

Fan Jiangong sighed lightly and said: "Master Zhen doesn't need to blame himself, this is not the fault of the Qingyun Sect, and the younger brother of this king is the mastermind, this matter, alas~"

After sighing, Fan Jiangong shook his head lightly and continued to ask: "But I don't know what happened when Master Zhen went down the mountain this time?"

At this time, Jia Nanfeng opened his mouth and said: "Your Majesty, the old man was entrusted by you to mention the relocation to the senior brother in charge of the sect, and the senior brother thought that this matter was related to the century-old foundation of the sect and needed to be carefully considered, so he went down the mountain with me to discuss this matter with the king. ”

Fan Jiangong nodded and said, "But I don't know what Master Zhen thinks?"

Zhen Beiyu pondered for a moment, and slowly spoke: "Your Majesty, it's not that the old man disagrees with this matter, but my Qingyun Sect has been operating in Qingyun Mountain for a hundred years, and if I move like this, it will damage the luck of the sect." ”

Seeing Zhen Beiyu's unfathomable appearance, Fan Jiangong sneered in his heart, pretended to be curious and said: "Luck is illusory, but what Master Zhen said is a bit exaggerated. ”

Zhen Beiyu picked up the teacup, blew the tea leaves gently, took another sip, put down the teacup, turned his head to look at Fan Jiangong and asked, "Your Majesty, there is a question." ”

"What do you ask?"

Zhen Beiyu raised his hand to dig out his ears and asked casually: "Does the king know what words are engraved on the jade seal of the country?"

Fan Jiangong said with a smile: "Who doesn't know about this matter? It is the eight words 'ordered by the sky, and the longevity and eternal prosperity'." ”

Zhen Beiyu smiled and asked, "Dare to ask the king, what is the explanation of being ordered by heaven?"

Fan Jiangong snorted lightly and said: "Why is Master Zhen interested in the Jade Seal of the Country? It's just the meaning of the destiny of heaven, but anyone who has read the book knows that Master Zhen came to ask this king about this matter, is it because he looks down on this king?"

After learning that Zhen Beiyu was just an ordinary old man, Fan Jiangong's patience became extremely limited.

If it weren't for Jia Nanfeng sitting below, he would have gotten up and left directly.

Jia Nanfeng glanced at Zhen Beiyu and saw that his face was as usual, so he didn't speak.

He knows exactly what kind of temperament this senior brother is.

If he really annoys him, he doesn't care if the person in front of him is the king of Shu or not.

Of course, in Jia Nanfeng's eyes, this King of Shu is just his pawn.

After all, this game of chess is not over yet, and he is a little worried.

As for his plan, in Zhen Beiyu's eyes, it was really a bit laborious and laborious.

According to his idea, it would be good to assassinate the palace directly, and then choose an obedient person to be the king of Bazhou at random.

Whoever opposes it, then kill him.

If Feng Yuan knew that Zhen Beiyu was thinking like this, he was afraid that he would have knelt in front of Zhen Beiyu a long time ago.

Jia Nanfeng knew that after his senior brother's skills had made a breakthrough, his thoughts were a little extreme, and he had a feeling of killing all over the world.

At that time, Zhen Beiyu had not yet shown signs of going mad.

After returning to the sect this time, Jia Nanfeng secretly figured out that the reason why his senior brother's personality became so perverse may be related to practice.

After seeing him return to the sect, the three deacons in the sect privately found an opportunity to vent their bitterness with him, saying that the head of the sect was unpredictable and really difficult to serve.

Before Jia Nanfeng went to Ziyang City, the affairs of the Qingyun Sect were handled by him, and Zhen Beiyu had not asked about the secular world of the sect for many years.

If a secret is told to someone else, it can't be called a secret.

Therefore, Jia Nanfeng could only apologize to the three deacons and tell them that he would soon return to the sect and take over the affairs of the sect again.

In fact, the so-called difficulty of the three of them is just to go to Zhen Beiyu to reason after they can't make up some decisions, and Zhen Beiyu either says, such a big thing is also to trouble the old man, what do you want? Or say, come, the three of you fight, whoever wins will listen to whomever wins.

Later, they really had no way to deal with the head, so they reached a consensus that if the three of them had something to do in the future, they would never trouble the head, and the three of them would solve it by themselves.

Even if it's a fight between three people, solve it on your own.

But when the three of them didn't go to Zhen Beiyu again, Zhen Beiyu was not happy, and found the three of them blowing their beards and glaring, do you still have me in your eyes?

Jia Nanfeng also wanted to discover that when the senior brother went mad, his mind turned out to be the most sober.

Zhen Beiyu also seemed to know his own problems, and after some deliberation with Jia Nanfeng, he thought that the problem was still on the exercises.

After knowing the problem, Zhen Beiyu was eager to find a solution, otherwise one day, he would become a crazy person, and he himself might explode and die due to uncontrolled internal forces.

After listening to Jia Nanfeng mention Yuan Xi, Zhen Beiyu became interested.

He wanted to meet this kid for a while.

Because Jia Nanfeng told him that the internal skills that Yuan Xi learned were very likely to be the Taixuan Gong of the Xuanyi Sect.

Zhen Beiyu smiled and said: "Your Majesty, what is looking down on? What is it that you can look down on? You are the king of Shu, who dares to look down on you? This person is often because he looks down on himself and cares about the eyes of others. ”

Fan Jiangong was silent for a moment, and after taking a sip of tea, he said: "What Master Zhen said is true, it is the heart of this king's villain. ”

Zhen Beiyu smiled but did not speak.

Fan Jiangong continued: "Since Master Zhen cares so much about luck, then this matter is non-negotiable?"

Zhen Beiyu said with a smile: "If it is impossible, what is the old man going down the mountain for? ”

Fan Jiangong thought for a while, and said with a happy face: "In this way, Immortal Zhen agreed to relocate?"

Zhen Beiyu bowed his head slightly and said: "Don't worry, the king is in a hurry, Old Man Rong will talk about it after reading it." ”

Fan Jiangong nodded and said, "If Immortal Zhen needs this king to do something, just ask, and this king will definitely help." ”

Zhen Beiyu smiled lightly: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say!"

Fan Jiangong's heart was very happy, and he turned his head to Hou Mink Temple, who was already waiting behind him again, and said: "Hou Mink Temple, you go and arrange it, this king will set up a banquet to wash the dust for Zhen Xianchang." ”

After speaking, he looked at Zhen Beiyu and asked, "Does Zhen Immortal have any taboos?"

Zhen Beiyu shook his head and smiled: "Don't look at the old man with such a body and bones, it's very scary to eat, what treasures does the king have, just prepare it." ”

Fan Jiangong stroked his palm and smiled: "Okay, good, but I don't know how much Zhen Xian Chang drinks?"

Zhen Beiyu stretched out a finger.

Fan Jiangong hesitated for a moment, and said suspiciously: "Only one bowl?"

Zhen Beiyu shook his head.

Fan Jiangong asked again: "Could it be an altar, Zhen Xian has a good amount of wine, at such an advanced age, he can drink a jar without wine, this king admires it!"

Zhen Beiyu shook his head again.

Fan Jiangong was puzzled and said: "Zhen Xian Chang is going to joke with this king again, since it is not an altar, what is the explanation?"

Zhen Beiyu coughed lightly, stroked his beard and said, "It's always drinking!"

At this time, Jia Nanfeng opened his mouth and said with a smile: "The king doesn't know, senior brother, he is known as a thousand cups and is not drunk, and he has never met an opponent at the wine table over the years. ”

Fan Jiangong was stunned for a moment, and then laughed loudly: "In this case, this king will take care of this fine wine!"

After speaking, he turned his head to look at Hou Mink Temple and asked: "Hou Mink Temple, have you written it down? ”

Hou Diao Temple bowed and said yes, and just about to turn around, he heard Fan Jiangong say: "In addition, remember to send someone to invite Feng Shuai to come, such a feast, how can you miss him?"

——————

Tap, tap.

In the quiet palace, the sound of horses' hooves is so crisp.

It was so crisp that Si Qu was a little frightened.

Ma Lanhua grabbed Si Go's hand and whispered, "De...... Go, don't panic, trust Mr. Chen. ”

Niu Dan Dan was constantly rubbing his chubby face.

Seeing this, Ma Lanhua smiled and said, "Little Dandan, what are you doing?"

Niu Dan Dan tried hard to pick his eyelids and said, "Ah? no, it's nothing!"

Si went to rub the head of Niu Dandan, who was leaning on his lap, and said, "If you are sleepy, go to sleep, don't stand up here." ”

The carriage is not big, the seats in the car, at the insistence of Niu Dandan, Si Go and Ma Lanhua one by one, and Niu Dan Dan Tray sits next to Si Qu's legs.

After sitting cross-legged for a while, Niu Dandan, who felt that his back was sore and his legs were weak, stretched his legs flat, and the whole person sat horizontally at the front of the carriage, and his body was crooked, and he was about to fall asleep on the thighs of the company.

That's why he can only refresh himself by rubbing his face.

Niu Dan raised his head, looked at Si and said, "Mr. has not rested, how can I sleep first?"

Si Qu smiled slightly and quipped: "You waited for me to sleep before, which time didn't you fall asleep first?"

After finishing speaking, Si Qu sighed lightly and glanced at Ma Lanhua with a wry smile.

Ma Lanhua patted Si Qu's arm and said, "Go, the days are still long, even if you and I can't forget, we will get used to another life." ”

Outside the carriage, Chen Fangzao, who was already dressed as a coachman, whispered: "It's right to think so, don't always think about forgetting, that will only make you remember more and more, the so-called forgetting, but in the end, we don't care." ”

Ma Lanhua glanced in the direction of the carriage door.

Before Chen Fangzao spoke, she was a little unhappy in her heart, but she felt that this person looked down on her and Si Qu in his eyes, and his words were full of sarcasm and sarcasm.

Although she knew that Chen Fangzao was for the good of the two of them, did she have to say that?

Does the listener have to prick his heart to be comfortable?

Later, in the bedroom of the palace juren, she figured it out, or rather, figured it out a little.

Gong Juren's bed was much harder than the bed in her bedroom, and she didn't even dare to take a deep breath for fear of smelling something.

But this bed, after all, is much more comfortable than the roof tiles.

Exhausted, she finally couldn't bear it anymore and lay down, and then fell asleep, waking up with a wet mark on the pillow.

She didn't have Jinpa by her side, so she had to wipe the corners of her mouth with her sleeve.

Maybe Chen Fangzao's words are a little unpleasant, but in the final analysis, she has never heard such words in her heart.

Chen Fang was already using this way to tell her to go with Si, or let them start to adapt to a life where no one would compliment and respect.

When leaving the room of the palace juren, she asked curiously, what about the gong juren?

Before Chen Fang could speak, Niu Dandan preemptively told her that Gong Diao Temple left with the jade seal of the country on his back.

Ma Lanhua understood that, in the final analysis, this person was still their enemy.

Chen Fangzao seemed to have guessed what she was thinking, and after thinking about it, he still said to her, if you want to hate you, you will hate, anyway, hatred is in your heart, others can't control your thoughts, it's just empty hatred, which will only make your life more miserable.

Ma Lanhua just smiled, but did not answer.

Her pain, in fact, Chen Fang could have understood?

At this time, Si went to tell her in a low voice, but he was afraid that the palace man was now gone.

Until she got into the carriage, Ma Lanhua didn't understand why this was the result.

Chen Fangzao's voice came into the carriage again, "Do you think my words are not so unpleasant?"

Si went to smile at Ma Lanhua, and then asked at the car door, "Mr. Chen, where have we been after walking for so long? Why is there no one to investigate?"

Chen Fangzao said with a smile: "There are still two gates to leave the palace, Si go, I didn't expect Cao Ning to do things so ruthlessly, the guards in this palace were completely removed by him, and none of the guards saw it." ”

Si Qu was puzzled: "Why is this?"

Chen Fangzao grabbed the wine jug beside him, poured a sip of wine and said: "Actually, it's easy to understand, there is not even the emperor in the palace, what are they still guarding? Could it be that they can't guard that group of palace maids and eunuchs?"

Si Qu was silent for a moment, and suddenly felt shocked in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Mr. Chen, I forgot one thing, the queen is still in the palace. ”

——————

The eunuch he met during the day was busy all day, and he was finally able to return to Changchun Palace.

For some reason, the mink temple next to the queen mother has also changed.

And the originally taciturn queen mother was even more reluctant to speak.

In fact, there was a fire in the Queen Mother's bedroom, and he just wanted to see the excitement.

He was just a little eunuch on duty outside the palace, and no one would reprimand him when he went there.

When he returned, he deliberately blackened his face.

When he arrived outside the Changchun Palace, he felt that something was wrong, there was no light in the palace, and it was pitch black in front of him.

He didn't know what was going on, and he didn't dare to make a noise, so he dared to carry the lantern and walked to the palace.

Suddenly, he tripped over something.
